11 Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run
12 other operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
13 This option alone does not add any kernel code.
15 If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
22 select PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS
23 select HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD
24 select HAVE_KVM_VCPU_ASYNC_IOCTL
27 select IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER
28 select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS

52 tristate "KVM support for PowerPC book3s_32 processors"
53 depends on PPC_BOOK3S_32 && !SMP && !PTE_64BIT
55 select KVM_BOOK3S_32_HANDLER
56 select KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE
58 Support running unmodified book3s_32 guest kernels
59 in virtual machines on book3s_32 host processors.
61 This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
62 a character device node named /dev/kvm.
67 tristate "KVM support for PowerPC book3s_64 processors"
68 depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64
69 select KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER
71 select KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE if !KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE
72 select SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU if IOMMU_SUPPORT && (PPC_PSERIES || PPC_POWERNV)
74 Support running unmodified book3s_64 and book3s_32 guest kernels
75 in virtual machines on book3s_64 host processors.
77 This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
78 a character device node named /dev/kvm.
82 config KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV
83 tristate "KVM for POWER7 and later using hypervisor mode in host"
84 depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64 && PPC_POWERNV
85 select KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE
89 Support running unmodified book3s_64 guest kernels in
90 virtual machines on POWER7 and newer processors that have
91 hypervisor mode available to the host.
93 If you say Y here, KVM will use the hardware virtualization
94 facilities of POWER7 (and later) processors, meaning that
95 guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed
96 using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means
97 that KVM is not usable under PowerVM (pHyp), is only usable
98 on POWER7 or later processors, and cannot emulate a
99 different processor from the host processor.
103 config KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR
104 tristate "KVM support without using hypervisor mode in host"
105 depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64
106 select KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE
108 Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors
109 without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the
110 guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all
111 privileged instructions and registers.
113 This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on
114 machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable,
115 and can emulate processors that are different from the host
116 processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit
119 config KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING
120 bool "Detailed timing for hypervisor real-mode code"
121 depends on KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE && DEBUG_FS
123 Calculate time taken for each vcpu in the real-mode guest entry,
124 exit, and interrupt handling code, plus time spent in the guest
125 and in nap mode due to idle (cede) while other threads are still
126 in the guest. The total, minimum and maximum times in nanoseconds
127 together with the number of executions are reported in debugfs in
128 kvm/vm#/vcpu#/timings. The overhead is of the order of 30 - 40
129 ns per exit on POWER8.
136 config KVM_EXIT_TIMING
137 bool "Detailed exit timing"
138 depends on KVM_E500V2 || KVM_E500MC
140 Calculate elapsed time for every exit/enter cycle. A per-vcpu
141 report is available in debugfs kvm/vm#_vcpu#_timing.
142 The overhead is relatively small, however it is not recommended for
143 production environments.
148 bool "KVM support for PowerPC E500v2 processors"
149 depends on E500 && !PPC_E500MC
154 Support running unmodified E500 guest kernels in virtual machines on
155 E500v2 host processors.
157 This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
158 a character device node named /dev/kvm.
163 bool "KVM support for PowerPC E500MC/E5500/E6500 processors"
164 depends on PPC_E500MC
170 Support running unmodified E500MC/E5500/E6500 guest kernels in
171 virtual machines on E500MC/E5500/E6500 host processors.
173 This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
174 a character device node named /dev/kvm.
179 bool "KVM in-kernel MPIC emulation"
180 depends on KVM && E500
181 select HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP
182 select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD
183 select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
186 Enable support for emulating MPIC devices inside the
187 host kernel, rather than relying on userspace to emulate.
188 Currently, support is limited to certain versions of
189 Freescale's MPIC implementation.
192 bool "KVM in-kernel XICS emulation"
193 depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64 && !KVM_MPIC
194 select HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP
195 select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD
198 Include support for the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller
199 Specification) interrupt controller architecture used on
200 IBM POWER (pSeries) servers.
